Police told Trevor Wynn’s family he had died in a car crash before it emerged he was being treated in hospital<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Relatives of a teenager who were told he had died in a car crash discovered he was still alive when he woke up in hospital, a family friend has said. <\/p>\n

South Yorkshire Police believed Trevor “TJ” Wynn, 17, had died alongside Summer Louise Scott, 17, in a collision near Rotherham on 13 December, while fellow passenger Joshua Johnson, 18, was seriously injured.<\/p>\n

However, police said “information came to light” on Sunday which confirmed it was actually Joshua who had died alongside Summer, with Trevor left seriously injured. <\/p>\n

Jonathan Stoner, who had been helping to raise funds for Trevor’s funeral, said the error was discovered after he regained consciousness and said his name and date of birth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The collision happened in Todwick Road, between Dinnington and Todwick, in the early hours of the morning when a silver Toyota Corolla crashed off the road.<\/p>\n

Stoner, who organised a charity boxing event to help cover Trevor’s funeral expenses in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, said Trevor’s family called him after the event had been held. <\/p>\n

“They rung me and said, ‘sit down’, so I sat down.<\/p>\n

“They said, ‘TJ’s not dead’ – I didn’t know what to say.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

An 18-year-old was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and a 19-year-old was arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice. <\/p>\n

Both remain on bail pending further inquiries, police said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Stoner said: “How do you even come to terms with that? <\/p>\n

“You’ve had to tell all your family, all the grandkids, that TJ’s passed away.<\/p>\n

“Now how are you going to go up to them kids’ faces and tell them he’s alive?”<\/p>\n

He continued: “Do you tell them in happiness? Because he’s still in a bad place, he’s not fully out of it yet.”<\/p>\n

Stoner, who runs Ignite Strength and Fitness, has pledged to hold a further fundraising event for the family of Joshua.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In a statement issued on Tuesday, South Yorkshire Police said “concerns” had been raised about the identities of those killed.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson said “information came to light” on Sunday which prompted “further formal identification processes, including forensics, to be undertaken” and resulted in the mistake being identified.<\/p>\n

Assistant Chief Constable Colin McFarlane said he had offered to meet with both sets of parents to discuss the matter.<\/p>\n

He said: “This has obviously come as a huge shock to everyone and we recognise the additional trauma this may cause.”<\/p>\n

The force referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) since identifying the error.<\/p>\n

The IOPC said it was assessing the referral to determine whether an investigation was required.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
